PTAFriends of St Philip's

St Philip's operates a parent group which is open to all parents, carers or relatives who may wish to take part. The group normally meets half termly to discuss ways of assisting the children and school with events, support charities, help raise funds for projects, manage school disco's etc.

Breakfast Club opens at 7.45 until 8.30 daily. £2.00 per child with a maximum of £4.00 charge per family, After School Club from 3.15 to 4.15 daily. £2.00 per child with a maximum of £4.00 charge per family.
Children in receipt of Free School Meals do not incur a charge for these services.

There is no need to book a place on either of these sessions, just bring your child/ren along.
